"In the beginning was the Word..."

Reading John 1:1
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God."

God has many names. Everyone of his names communicates something essential about his character or about his relationship to his creation. I cannot imagine any era of history that could appreciate more the name we have presented here, "the Word," than the information age in which we live. We are only now beginning to discover how incredibly information rich every piece of biological matter on this planet is. The complexity of communication within a single cell is breath-taking. The Bible is clear that the "words" behind all of this communication is nothing less than the voice of God, speaking his unending "let there be...".

God as "Word" has opened the lines of communication between himself and those whome he has uniquely created in his own image. It is his intention to speak. It is his intention that we would hear and understand. The reason that a finite human being can cognitively interpret speech from an infinite God is a matter of God's intention, expressed in his design. God's communication to us is rich, vivid, "broad-band," if you will.

"In the past God spoke to our forefathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son..." Hebrews 1:1-2

We are both a receiver and a broadcaster of information. How well we receive from God has a big impact on how well we broadcast. God is an intentional and persistant communicator. Is there anything that is interfering with my reception?
